Chapter 132 Big Gossip

  When the four of them arrived at the door of Lao Ye's house, the carriage had already stopped outside. Only the driver was sitting in the carriage, and the people in the carriage had already entered the yard.

  However, the sound insulation effect of old houses like this in the village is not very good. If you speak a little louder in the house, you can hear it clearly outside.

  Jiang Zhu led the three of them to find a place in the corner that was sheltered from the wind and easy to listen to. Not long after, they heard an "ouch" in the courtyard.

  "Cancel the engagement?!"

  Immediately afterwards there was a quarrel: "No! This is a good idea. Why do you have to cancel the engagement!"

  "This voice sounds like Wu Xianglian's." Zhao Le said while chewing melon seeds.

  After Wu Xianglian's voice, the old Ye family became quiet. Ye Annian guessed that Zhou Zaiqian must have said something.

  Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Xianglian's voice came out again: "Why? Our two families have held an engagement banquet, and the date has been set. Your family is getting married if you don't want to get married? You old Zhou family don't mean what they say. !"

  "Stop talking! Boss Renzhou is here to discuss things with us too!" This time it was Ye Quan's voice.

  "How is his attitude of discussion? This, this, this...he even brought us the gift money for our children!"

  "Did you give it to me? If I remember correctly, the silver should have originally belonged to our Zhou family!"

  "Now I will return the money to you, and our two families will be settled from now on!" An angry male voice suddenly sounded.

  Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu looked at each other. It seemed that Zhou Zhenggan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  After this angry sound, Lao Ye's family became quiet again.

  The four people pricked up their ears and listened for a moment, but there was no movement inside.

  Zhao Le wondered: "No way? Is this the end?"

  He thought there would be a huge quarrel.

  "Maybe we've reached an agreement," Zhao Nan guessed.

  Ye Anian shook his head: "No."

  With Wu Xianglian's temperament, it would be absolutely impossible for the Zhou family to cancel the engagement without Zhou Zaiqian peeling off the skin.

  At this time, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from Lao Ye's courtyard, which shocked everyone.

  But then there were sparse footsteps and noisy movements in the yard.

  "Ye Quan! Don't bully others too much in your family! I'm just going to stop talking today. Our Zhou family has canceled the marriage!"

  Through the light in the courtyard, several people vaguely saw Zhou Zaiqian walking out angrily, followed closely by Wu Xianglian, Ye Quan and Ye Chenghe.

  "Boss Zhou, my sincerity towards Rongrong is truly remarkable! Please give me another chance!"

Seeing Zhou Zaiqian striding to the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Chenghe became anxious. While expressing his stance, he rushed up and grabbed the man's sleeve.

  He felt that he didn't use much strength, but with just such a tug, Zhou Zaiqian's figure swayed violently, and he fell to the ground with a "dong".

  "Zhou, Boss Zhou?" Ye Chenghe was so frightened that he froze in place.

  It was only when Ye Quan and Wu Xianglian caught up and rushed to help him that he realized what was happening and hurried over to help him.

  "Tsk," Jiang Zhu couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the chaotic group of people, "Zhou is up to no good. I'm afraid the old Ye family will be in trouble this time."

  "What do you mean? Mr. Jiang, you said you fucked him this week on purpose?" Zhao Le suddenly widened his eyes.

  Seeing that Ye Quan, Wu Xianglian and Ye Chenghe spent a long time, they could not help Zhou Zaiqian up.

  Zhou Zaiqian just sat at the door of Lao Ye's house and said angrily: "You Lao Ye family are really bullying others!"

  "I ruined my family's reputation, and now I'm still holding on to my daughter!"

  "Ask yourselves, when the Zhou family hired Cheng He to work in the shop, were they ever given less monthly money?"

  "Now that something like this has happened to your family, we can just get together and relax! Why are you forcing me, an old man, like this!"

  When he shouted, Wu Xianglian's words were blocked.

  Seeing that his mother-in-law was speechless, Ye Quan glared at her and hurried over to say good things to Zhou Zaiqian.

  "This guy surnamed Zhou is so tall that he has blocked the way for you to breastfeed." Zhao Le chewed melon seeds while biting Ye Anian's ears.

  "Evil people will have their own troubles." Ye Anyian said calmly.

  "Look at your cheap dad, you don't even dare to fart now." Zhao Lezheng was looking at it with gusto, and then he felt as if the bag containing melon seeds around his waist was being tugged.

  He glanced at Zhao Nan next to him: "Sister, tell me if you want to eat melon seeds."

  Zhao Nan was very surprised: "I still have it here."

  "Who is that?" Zhao Le muttered and looked back, Hun'er was almost scared to death.

  It was getting dark now, and they were standing under the big tree opposite Lao Ye's house. When he turned around, he saw a blurry and enlarged face behind him, with the nose almost touching his face.

  He was so frightened that he was about to shout, but Zhao Nan quickly covered his mouth with quick eyes and hands.

  "You brat!" Zhao Lizheng's deep voice sounded low in the darkness, "Scared your father."

Zhao Le now realized who it was, broke away from Zhao Nan's hand, and patted his chest: "Dad, why are you here?"

  "Your mother's meal is ready, but none of you are there. Shouldn't you ask me to come out and look for you? Then I see you hiding here." Zhao Lizheng said.

  He originally wanted to call his siblings and leave, but the liveliness of Lao Ye's house was quite interesting, so he followed it without realizing it.

  Ye Anyian couldn't help but sigh, as expected, gossip is absolutely attractive to people.

  There was a false alarm on one side, and there was a stalemate between Zhou Zaiqian and Lao Ye's family on the other side for most of the day.

  In the end, Ye Quan sent Wu Xianglian and Ye Chenghe away, and negotiated terms with Zhou Zaiqian alone.

  "Boss Zhou, what's going on today is that my old Ye family can't help you. Don't worry, I have the final say on the matter of breaking off the engagement."

  When Zhou Zaiqian heard this, he understood what he meant and stopped beating around the bush: "How much does Mr. Ye want?"

  "Eighty taels." Ye Quan said.

  As soon as he said this, Ye Anian knew that things between the two families were probably going to get worse.

  Based on the current situation of the Ye family, it is the best choice to follow Zhou Zaiqian's wishes and break off the engagement honestly, but the old couple are greedy and want to make a fortune.

  But this extortion also depends on who is being ripped off. A smiling tiger like Zhou Zaiqian cannot be offended by people like Ye Quan and others who are digging in the ground.

  Sure enough, I heard Zhou Zaiqian say: "I would like to advise Mr. Ye, you still have to have some conscience in this life."

  "Boss Zhou, aren't we, the Ye family, conscientious enough? My Cheng He married into your Zhou family and was willing to help your daughter raise other people's children. Can Boss Zhou find a second son-in-law like this?"

  "Ye Quan!" Zhou Zaiqian gritted his teeth.

  Ye Quan looked proud: "Boss Zhou, think about it carefully, which is more important, the money, or the reputation of my daughter's family?"

  "Your daughter's belly has grown, right? If she doesn't find someone to get married, won't she be afraid of people gossiping?"

  Oops!

  This news is exciting.

  Several people looked at me and me, all showing shocked expressions.

  But Zhou Zaiqian clenched his fists and said after a long silence: "I understand. Mr. Ye, please go back first. Let me think about this matter carefully."

  "I don't have time to think about it anymore. If Boss Zhou agrees, I will discuss it with Chenghe tomorrow, and the wedding date of the two children will be set in five days. If he doesn't agree, give me the old Ye family eighty taels of silver, and I will immediately declare the two families Breaking off the engagement will definitely bring shame on your Zhou family, how about it?"

  "I'm tired today. I'll give you an answer in two days." Zhou Zaiqian looked very tired and got into the carriage after speaking, not giving Ye Quan a chance to speak again.

  As the carriage rolled away, only Ye Quan was left standing at the door.

  He watched the carriage disappear into the night, took a sip on the ground, and turned around to go in.

The excitement was gone, and several people were ready to go home.

  As a result, when he turned around, Ye Annian discovered that there were more than ten people crowded under the big tree. They all heard the movement of the old Ye family and ran over to join in the fun.

  "Look." At this moment, Jiang Zhu suddenly touched Ye Anyian's arm.

  "What?" Ye Annian looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the courtyard walls on the left and right sides of Old Ye's house were covered with rows of heads and melon seeds watching the excitement.

  Ye Anyian:...

  Well, there are no entertainment activities in this era. I am afraid that the whole village will want to join in the excitement.

  After saying goodbye to Zhao Lizheng and the others, Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu strolled back.

  The two of them were satisfied with the excitement today. They didn't expect that Ye Chenghe was not only a bride-in-law, but also the child was not his.

  However, the old Ye family probably doesn't care. If this child is not good, the next one will be. The Zhou family is so rich. When Zhou Zai is killed in the future, everything in the Zhou family will fall into the hands of the old Ye family sooner or later.

  Ye Anian didn't care about this. The only thing that made him feel a little strange was that Zhou Zaiqian's attitude towards the old Ye family seemed to be too soft today.

  I still remember when Zhou Zaiqian led a group of gangsters to smash up Guangyin Shop, he was not like this who could be easily manipulated.

  But this matter had nothing to do with them, so Ye Anyian didn't think much about it.

  Because they had to go to town the next day, the two went home to get some food and rested early.

  Early the next morning, I saw an uninvited guest in the shop.

  Ye Annian sent Jiang Zhu to the alley where he usually worked as a stall, and then drove the ox cart to West Street alone. As soon as he entered the shop, he saw Liu Zhuo sitting inside, and his originally good mood suddenly darkened.

  "Good morning, Boss Ye." Liu Zhuo greeted Ye Anyian with a smile.

  Ye Annian walked directly behind the counter and handed the food box containing the egg pancakes to Yu Hu. He glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"

  "I can't come and chat with you if I have nothing to do?" Liu Zhuo was still gentle.

  "There shouldn't be anything to talk about between us." Ye Anyian didn't agree with him.

  "You don't want to know about Magistrate Yao? If I remember correctly, your doctor Jiang seems to have a good relationship with him."

  Hearing him mention Yao Jun, Ye Anyian frowned slightly: "Let's go out and chat."
